Yep. I think you are right. I forgot to bump the version when I released it the other night. I will fix it later today. Sorry about that. It was my first release.

Ok, I updated bower.json and package.json to the latest version which should handle the mismatch problem.

The EMALFORMED error is actually coming from nvd3. Their bower.json is not formatted correctly. They have updated it in github, but bower is still messed up. I have been wrestling with this for a bit now as well.

One way I have found to handle it is to use bower link to link a local version of nvd3. Brian Ford talks about it in the blog post (http://briantford.com/blog/angular-bower.html).

But what happens if we find we need to change the directive in our component? Do we have to push a new version > of the component just to test it in the app? It turns out that Bower has a great feature for this case.
First, in the angular-my-component directory, run:
λ → bower link
In your application directory, run:
λ → bower link angular-my-component
What does this do? Basically, it creates a symbolic link from the angular-my-directive directory to the appropriate > directory inside of components for the app. Thus, when you make changes to the component, they'll be reflected ?> in your app. This is a great way to develop an app and a set of resuable components alongside each other.

Also, I usually have to clean the bower cache before I link.

Try this out and let me know if you have issues, etc.

Ah - very nice - thanks for the good response. First try failed because I cloned nvd3 into my app/bower_components directory. But I realized that might be the problem, so I moved it to . For others that have similar problems with bower packages, here's how to link to local copies, using nvd3 as an example:

()-> git clone https://github.com/novus/nvd3.git
()-> cd nvd3
(/nvd3)-> bower link
bower link /Users/clayton/.local/share/bower/links/nvd3 > /Users/clayton/nvd3
(~/nvd3)-> cd /myApp
(/myApp)-> bower link nvd3
bower link /Users/clayton/myApp/app/bower_components/nvd3 > /Users/clayton/.local/share/bower/links/nvd3


Hopefully this will work. I get some warnings when I run 'bower list.'
